Master of Science (MSc) in Geography

About this programme

Geography and Environmental Studies encompasses human geography, physical geography, and environmental studies. Human geography analyses the way humans use and understand the world and addresses the spatial differentiation and organization of human activity and its interrelationships with the physical environment. Physical geography—a component of Earth sciences—is the study of the natural processes that occur at and above the surface of the Earth. Geography is one of mankind’s earliest scientific disciplines and studies the environment – everything that surrounds us, including human beings. Environmental Studies encompasses the study of the planet and its intricate variety of living and non-living elements and processes, how human beings connect with the physical structures, institutions and economies we build, and the politics, language and culture by which we communicate. Students in Geography and Environmental Studies develop a strong background in spatial thinking and analysis to understand patterns, pathways, and connections between physical environments and human environments.
